Golden Globes Ricky Gervais has been notorious for pulling no punches while hosting the awards ceremony. Last year, the British comedian skewered Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Bruce Willis and the actresses of "Sex and the City 2."

"They're just gags," Gervais told reporters at a Television Critics Association press event for his HBO show "Life's Too Short." "I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings or give them a bad night or undermine the moral fabric of America. I'm a comedian."

The 69th annual Golden Globe Awards will be presented starting at 8 p.m. today at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and broadcast live on NBC.
